Kia will be taking to next week’s North American International Auto Show with a new concept.

Details are still thin; all we know about the concept is that it will be a “premium large SUV,” slotting above the Sorento and pegged as an alternative to larger three-row SUVs such as the Honda Pilot and Ford Explorer.

Based on the same platform as the Sorento, Kia’s upcoming SUV concept will wear blocky, almost Range Rover-esque styling. The lone teaser image also hints at some snazzy oversized wheels and Kia says the concept will feature “health and wellness technology,” though we’ll have to wait until next week to see what that means.

We’ll bring you the latest on Kia’s SUV concept – and much more – from the floor of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan. 11.
